Its an ASUS Motherboard with a 16x PCI-E slot that my current card is in. And that other card you suggested looks nice. I might get it instead.
[QUOTE="Dark_Spartan192"]Not bad, should get you high settings in the games you listed. Hopefully someone who owns an 8600 will give you their opinion. Although, for the money, I would go with an X1950PRO.Wait nevermind this one is the one I was talking about.

Someone told me that those type of cards wouldnt work with my Motherboard. I cant remember who. Will it?
[QUOTE="Dark_Spartan192"]OK, I'll check out some 8800 GTS online. And I'm glad I dont need a sound card, they get pricy.firefly026If you're a US resident, newegg would be the best site to purchase from.
Unfortunately I live in Canada so that rules out newegg.

My current system is ok for playing most older games such as Halo 2, Halo, C&C and stuff but if I plan to play some much newer games (which I do) I definately need a new video card. Also I may be getting another 1GB of RAM from a friends PC soon. Here are my current specs:

So I'm looking at a new video card for games like Bioshock and Oblivion. Also do I need a sound card for a 2 speaker setup? I really don't want to pay more than $250 but $300 max. Thanks
